OILY MESS!

AS READING MY POSTS OF JAN 2021

and a couple of things caught my eye from the news of that time, the Jan 6 attack, the days directly after that and so forth...3 things caught my eye in what I had repeated out of the news....
Number one was how DT said if they Impeached him some people were going to get very angry...that was a direct threat to our government...and it was an implication that he was able to control "some" groups to perform violence on  his behalf.  It was a threat to the GOP leaders to not ratify the Impeachment!

The second thing that caught my eye was Joe Manchin...he asked that the House Delay the Impeachment Vote & Proceedings until more investigation could be done...at the time I agreed, but KNOWING  now what I didn't know then is Joe is a Rep masquerading as a Democrat...I do believe he wanted that cooling off period so Trumps message could sink into those Republican minds, recall even McConnell was ready to Impeach directly after the attack...Lindsey Graham, even the stooge Josh Hawley, denounced the Coup attempt but after that cooling off period as the vote was delayed...they all sided with Trump...So thanks Joe Manchin. 

And the third thing that caught my eye was Trump saying, "What ever the economy does in the coming couple years is my doing, you can thank me".. Not verbatim, but that is what  he said. He said the economic recovery was going to be brilliant, and he took credit for it...so that means this is his Inflation, this is his economic plan that has put us where we are. 

And basically he is right!! It was his Tariffs that began the price hikes of domestic goods, Steel Imports, and his America First idealism that stopped imports.  Even the fuckn Pillow Guy imports his cotton!! 

It was Trumps 2018  dumping the deal with Iran, that allowed waivers to exempt sanctions against Iranian oil,  and allow them to continue to  export oil to the US and Europe. Trump ended the waivers when he opted out of the Iran Nuclear  deal, with the aim of halting Iran exports completely...SO Trump helped to stop the flow of oil from Iran...When he pulled out of the Deal....that created a deficit that no one is talking about!! In Oct of 2020 the US imported 36,000 Barrels of oil a day from Iran..in 2021 1,000 barrels a day...and I can't find any export info for 2022 for Iran.  Canada is the main exporter of  oil to the US. The Pipeline stops did not reduce the amount in fact it rose by 12%.  These are the type facts you find out only when you read various sources and do your own research! 

So Trump stopped the Iran Nuclear deal, it cost the US 35,000 barrels of oil per day which was a huge loss.  Then the GOP blames Biden for the oil prices...and for closing leaky deals on the pipeline which was only going to benefit Canada.  They managed to increase exports by 12%.  Biden has tried to get talks moving with Iran to get back some aspects of the deal but now it seems Iran has gone back to becoming a terror threat so talks have stalled!

Amazing right?
